Kiteworks Private Data Network Delivers Greatest Protection and Governance for Private Data, Simplifying Compliance While Defeating AI, Supply Chain, and Regulatory Risks—Plus Baby Goats in Booth #235

Kiteworks, which empowers organizations to effectively manage risk in every send, share, receive, and use of private data, will participate in the RSA Conference (RSAC) 2025, taking place April 28 to May 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Kiteworks will showcase its Private Data Network (PDN) solution at Booth #235, featuring live baby goats and demonstrations of Kiteworks’ robust data security and compliance capabilities.

Under RSAC 2025’s theme, “Many Voices. One Community,” the cybersecurity industry will gather to address unprecedented regulatory pressure and evolving threats. With approximately 83% of the global population now living in jurisdictions with data protection laws and 167 countries having adopted comprehensive privacy legislation, organizations face increasing pressure to implement robust security and compliance solutions.^[1]

The urgent need for robust data security solutions is underscored by findings from Kiteworks’ recent “Top 11 Data Breaches in 2024” report, which revealed that data breaches have grown exponentially, with 4.2 billion records exposed—a staggering 178% increase over the previous year.^[2]

Critical Data Security and Compliance Challenges

Research from Kiteworks underscores why these challenges are top of mind, especially as organizations tackle increasingly complex regulations and face more sophisticated attacks.

• AI-related Data Threats: Enterprise GenAI usage has surged 3,000% in one year, with organizations now sharing 7.7 GB of sensitive data monthly with AI tools. Research shows 8.5% of employee prompts to LLMs contain sensitive information, with customer data accounting for 46% of leaks. Meanwhile, 72% of users circumvent IT controls using personal accounts.^[3]
• Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Supply chain attacks are projected to cost organizations $60 billion in 2025, up from $46 billion in 2023. Gartner finds that 45% of organizations worldwide will have experienced attacks on their software supply chains by this year.^[4][5]
• Disaggregated Tool Soup: Organizations struggle with disconnected platforms for private data exchange. Kiteworks’ annual survey found nearly 60% of organizations use six or more systems to secure private data exchanges.^[6]
• Expanding Regulatory Landscape: Eight new U.S. state privacy laws take effect in 2025. Emerging frameworks like the EU’s AI Act introduce algorithmic transparency and governance obligations by August 2025.^[7]
• CMMC Preparedness: Organizations in the Defense Industrial Base face new CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance requirements. 73% of those conducting gap analyses maintain fully documented policies, compared to 28% of others.^[8]
